3 Basic notions Definition A contact pair (CP) of type (h, k) on an even dimensional manifold M is a pair (α 1,α 2 ) of 1-forms such that: α 1 (dα 1 ) h α 2 (dα 2 ) k is a volume form (dim M = 2h+2k+ 2) G. Bande (Università di Cagliari) Contact pairs (bicontact manifolds) 6 Settembre / 15

6 Characteristic foliations and Reeb vector fields On a manifold M, endowed with a CP, there exist two vector fields (Reeb vector fields) Z 1 and Z 2, uniquely determined by the conditions α 1 (Z 1 ) = α 2 (Z 2 ) = 1, α 1 (Z 2 ) = α 2 (Z 1 ) = 0, i Z1 dα 1 = i Z1 dα 2 = i Z2 dα 1 = i Z2 dα 2 = 0.

7 Characteristic foliations and Reeb vector fields On a manifold M, endowed with a CP, there exist two vector fields (Reeb vector fields) Z 1 and Z 2, uniquely determined by the conditions α 1 (Z 1 ) = α 2 (Z 2 ) = 1, α 1 (Z 2 ) = α 2 (Z 1 ) = 0, i Z1 dα 1 = i Z1 dα 2 = i Z2 dα 1 = i Z2 dα 2 = 0. The tangent bundle of M splits as TM = TF 1 TF 2 = TG 1 TG 2 V, where we have TF i = ker dα i kerα i, TG i = ker dα i kerα 1 kerα 2, V = RZ 1 RZ 2. G.

8 Characteristic foliations and Reeb vector fields On a manifold M, endowed with a CP, there exist two vector fields (Reeb vector fields) Z 1 and Z 2, uniquely determined by the conditions α 1 (Z 1 ) = α 2 (Z 2 ) = 1, α 1 (Z 2 ) = α 2 (Z 1 ) = 0, i Z1 dα 1 = i Z1 dα 2 = i Z2 dα 1 = i Z2 dα 2 = 0. The tangent bundle of M splits as TM = TF 1 TF 2 = TG 1 TG 2 V, where we have TF i = ker dα i kerα i, TG i = ker dα i kerα 1 kerα 2, V = RZ 1 RZ 2. Observe that TF 1 e TF 2 are integrable and they determine the so-called characteristic foliations. The subbundles TG i are symplectic and non-integrable. G.

13 Motivations and links A CP of type(h, 0) determines a locally conformally symplectic structure. G. Bande (Università di Cagliari) Contact pairs (bicontact manifolds) 6 Settembre / 15
14 Motivations and links A CP of type(h, 0) determines a locally conformally symplectic structure. The existence of a (non-kähler) Vaisman structure on a manifolds is equivalent to the existence of a normal metric CP of type (h, 0). G.

15 Motivations and links A CP of type(h, 0) determines a locally conformally symplectic structure. The existence of a (non-kähler) Vaisman structure on a manifolds is equivalent to the existence of a normal metric CP of type (h, 0). Taking symplectic pairs, in some cases one can do a Boothy-Wang construction to obtain a CP. Recently the symplectic pairs have been used in the study of Almost Kähler manifolds. G.

25 Remark The leaves of the characteristic foliations of an MCP are minimal submanifolds. G. Bande (Università di Cagliari) Contact pairs (bicontact manifolds) 6 Settembre / 15
26 Remark The leaves of the characteristic foliations of an MCP are minimal submanifolds. For an MCP (α 1,α 2,φ, g), the endomorphismφ is decomposable if and only if the characteristic foliations F 1,F 2 are orthogonal. In this case (α i,φ, g) restricts to a metric contact structure (α i,φ i, g) on the leaves of F j (j i). G. Bande (Università di Cagliari) Contact pairs (bicontact manifolds) 6 Settembre / 15
27 Remark The leaves of the characteristic foliations of an MCP are minimal submanifolds. For an MCP (α 1,α 2,φ, g), the endomorphismφ is decomposable if and only if the characteristic foliations F 1,F 2 are orthogonal. In this case (α i,φ, g) restricts to a metric contact structure (α i,φ i, g) on the leaves of F j (j i). Moreover, if the MCP is normal, then the leaves are Sasakian. G.
